After another miraculous European comeback, Manchester United fans have only two words for the club: "Announce Ole".

Having arrived in Paris trailing 2-0 from the first leg, the Red Devils pulled off mission impossible in the French capital, winning 3-1 to book a Champions League quarter-final spot.

Romelu Lukaku scored twice in the first half to give United a chance, before Marcus Rashford's injury-time penalty - following VAR intervention for handball against Presnel Kimpembe - handed United an unlikely away goals success.

Missing 10 first team players through injury and suspension - including his entire first-choice midfield - Solskjaer added another huge away win to his CV, as United remained in contention for Europe's premier club crown.

Having been parachuted in to replace Jose Mourinho back in December, Solskjaer has presided over a run of just one defeat in 17 games - with that loss now rendered meaningless - and has brought the feel-good factor back to United.

Now, in a week where Sir Alex Ferguson travelled with the team, where Solskjaer held more talks with co-owner Avram Glazer and claimed on a podcast that he believes his contract with Norwegian side Molde is now void, it is a matter of when, not if 'announce Ole' becomes a reality.

And it is a move that will be popular not just with fans, but also the players who have been reinvigorated by his arrival.

Lukaku, having seen Marcus Rashford initially take his No.9 spot under Solskjaer, has come up huge for the Norwegian in recent weeks.

The Belgian's brace in the Parc des Princes made it six goals in three games for the £75million hitman, and he expects the Norwegian to get the job full-time.

Luke Shaw added: “I don’t think I need to say much after all these results, it looks certain.

"We all love Ole and we love the job he’s done so far. We’re enjoying everything that’s going on at the moment."

Solskjaer's latest act has seemingly made it impossible for United to look anywhere else, and aided by Sir Alex Ferguson he has shown an aptitude for not just managing players - and allowing them to flourish - but also managing upwards.

“I'm just doing the best I can now and planning with the club for the future,” he said in the bowels of the Parc des Princes. “It doesn't matter if I'm here or not, I'm still giving my opinion and advice on what we should do next season.

“I don't really mind that, because I'm a supporter, as well. I want the best for Man United. As a supporter you want the best, as a manager you want the best.”

For United supporters, what's best is Solskjaer remaining at the wheel.
